I’ve got Yamaha C-60 pre and an M-65 power amp which I love.
They can be problematic, though. Three common issues are:
Solder joint failure on the I/O jacks
The same on heat stressed parts (usually transistors.
And the most common, the “Dreaded Sony Bond Glue” problem.
I’ve had to deal with all three, but keep these as my every day system cause I love the sound. The Crown and QSC I used while T/s and repair activities were pending on the Yammy just did not sound as good to me, so once fixed the Yamaha was back in.

Mild heat exhaustion. Trimmed some palms inna backyard. High and tight. Got to use a variety of ladders, edged weapons and three liters of cool water. But they look much better now.

Intel was shortened from Integrated Electronics. Some of the founder's names were Moore and Noyce, and they felt that Moore-Noyce sounded too much like More Noise, so they kept looking for a name. Does that sound about right, @JBCODD
Never heard the “More Noise” story, but the contraction is correct.

There are vendors on e-bay

We don't have such nice sunsets here this time of the year.
Only this
This resembles the Chihuly art on display down here. I wonder where he gets his inspiration.

Raining in the desert. First time in months. Even the ducks are walking, and the lizards are seeking shelter.

A now closed antiques store, I recognized the owners name in a facebook ad as a family friend and went to meet him.
Excellent! So “Friends and neighbors” can do more than send you a draft notice.

Hi Dave, I believe they are solder lug, I did not grab a picture before I closed them up. Anyone know what the "R" stamp indicates on the mid?
Pretty sure I have read on the forum that the R indicates a Klipsch warranty or replacement part. I don’t have the link so take this with a grain of salt.
Well Randy beat me to the keyboard, but seems I may have been correct. Holy affirmation, Batman!

$1225 for the package. Still a major bargain for all, and a reasonable price for the amps alone.
~ 30 hrs left……

At the current bid, the price is about $15 per amp or $3 per pound of gear. Plus lots of other stuff.

Wow, that's a score!
Indeed. I have been tracking the Az part of the site:
https://www.publicsurplus.com/sms/all,az/browse/allcatfor about five years now. Useful gear shows up in Az about quarterly, but most times it is either 200 miles one way to pick up, appt only; or gets too rich for me. This one was a bonus, too. The 10 auction pix showed only one view of two of the QSC and the Crown. There were four of the QSC PLX 1602 on the pallet when I picked up. Three miles from my home.
Life is good this month….
